My Decadent Journey Hop
Thanks to Joanne Kenrick for putting this Hop together! My journey as a Decadent author began in 2012, with the publication of Gigolo Seduction. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as every publisher is different. I’d been long-published in nonfiction, and had mostly good experiences with a range of publishers. My first foray into publishing erotica was 2010, and while the response to my work was great, I wasn’t very impressed with the publisher’s business model. Shortly after, Decadent came on my radar. I’d heard...
read moreIntroducing: About Face by Amy Lee Burgess
Visiting today is author Amy Lee Burgess, author of About Face. Check out what she has to say about world-building and orientation dynamics in her series mythos: The other night a friend and I were discussing world building issues in my Wolf Within series. She asked, “I know your shifters need hetero sex to shift, but is there any room for you to write about a gay couple? Can two guys or two girls bond?” I thought I had the answer. “Well, they have triads in packs to deal with this. They can’t shift without hetero sex, so two same sex lovers...

read more5 Paddles for Journal of a Lycanthrophile, from BDSM Book Reviews!!
I’m so stoked from this review of Journal of a Lycanthrophile by BDSM Book Reviews! “Erotica in the truest sense of the word; sex is an integral element of it, the story wouldn’t exist without it, and yet the sex is not the focus of it, just a means of exploring the story’s themes…” Needless to say, this series was a risk, and I’m so pleased with its reception. It’s my first indie release, and it’s gotten really great reviews and garnered a lot of insightful discussion on various forums. Sometimes I...

read moreChallenging the Reader
A few months ago I raised some discussion on my Facebook page about Stephen King’s Youtube interview in which he says (48:30) regarding Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey -esque books that ‘readers don’t want to be challenged.’ As well, King goes on to speak of a ‘snob’ contingency in the industry, where if a book shoots to stardom, audiences at the more intellectual end of the spectrum will outright reject it as literature. Where in the world can the middle be in such polarity? If authors shoot for such a...
read moreIs it Indie if It’s Amazon?
I know, I know. The scribed white elephant no one wants to talk about. I feel compelled to explore my relationship to Amazon further, though, and in doing so a few considerations emerged that I want to share. I’ve only published one book through Amazon, and it’s done two (good) stints through the KDPS (Kindle Direct Publishing Select) program. It’s book one of a series, which will also be brought to life through Amazon. A lot of you probably read J. A. Konrath’s post a couple of weeks ago on going all-in with...

read moreRites of Spring Blog Hop – Tarik’s First
The Rites of Spring Blog Hop challenge is to elaborate on a character’s first. Of course that would be Tarik, the lovely bachelor from Traveler Through Darkness, a novella in Decadent Publishing’s The Edge series. If you haven’t yet read it, you won’t spoil it by reading Tarik’s first. If you have read it, perhaps you can better understand his conflict, thus his choices. ~*~*~*~ It’s not that I hadn’t been attracted to men before Wo. In reality, I probably did have plenty of opportunity to...
